    摘要: This disclosure provides a way for securely protecting secret information—for example, a secret key—in a programmed electronic device. A technique is disclosed for protecting secret information in a programmed electronic device that includes a non-trusted memory containing software, a data memory containing the secret information, and an access restriction logic unit that is adapted to allow or block access to the secret information wherein the secret information is adapted to be used for verifying the integrity of the software. In one embodiment, when starting up the programmed electronic device, the access restriction logic unit allows access to the secret information. Then the secret information is accessed for use in verifying the integrity of the software, and subsequently the access restriction logic unit blocks further access to the secret information. Embodiments of a semiconductor device and a programmed electronic device comprising similar features are also disclosed.

    摘要: This disclosure provides an apparatus including a programmable memory, a data write path for writing data into the memory and a data read path for reading data from the memory. The memory comprises at least one protected memory field. The data write path comprises a decryption unit that is adapted for receiving encrypted data, decrypting the encrypted data, and writing resulting plain data into the at least one protected memory field. The data read path is adapted for reading out the plain data stored in the protected memory field. The at least one protected memory field is only writable by applying the data to be written into the at least one protected memory field in encrypted form to the data write path.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are presented for protecting data in microcontrollers from both malicious software processes running inside the device as well as from unauthorized attempts to read the data from an external data bus and/or external memory. An illustrative embodiment of the invention accomplishes these security improvements, in part, by utilizing an enhanced memory management unit (MMU). The enhanced MMU is configured to prevent one software process running on the microcontroller from accessing data associated with a different software process running on the same microcontroller. Moreover, data transmitted over an external data bus or stored in an external memory is encrypted, thereby reducing the chances that unauthorized users will gain exploitable information from this data.
